Any professor moms on? Are you being asked to teach in person? DH wants me to push back against administration given the super spreading aspect of lectures, etc. [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

I do not teach lectures. The nature of my teaching is 1 on 1 in a small setting and can't teach the material with a mask on, so it looks like we are staying online (but my universities are doing an earlier start). Both institutions are reaching out about which classes could safely be done in person & which would remain online. Lectures (w/o class discussion) should be relatively easy to do online (depending on the subject and material). Yes, you should push back if you are not comfortable. This is not just about your health, but the health of your family. [ Reply | More

I work in a graduate school. No large group gatherings allowed. Seminars etc are online. However, we do research projects were we meet with students in person and occasionally show them techniques etc that require short-term close contact with masks on. [ Reply | More

I don't see how big lectures will work, but yes, teaching small classes in person in the fall. Probably some online element, too. [ Reply | More
